Remarks. — Specimens from Costa Rica and Chiriqui have 

 always been confused with C. albitempora (Lafr.) of Bolivia, but 

 the two birds are very different, and can at once be told apart by 

 the bills — C. novicius having a large stout bill, and C. albitempora 

 a small slender one, — besides which there are marked differences 

 in color. There are no skins of C. albitempora in the National 

 Museum, but the American Museum of Natural History lent Mr. 

 Ridgway a fine specimen, collected by Rusby in Bolivia, which he 

 and I compared with the northern bird, with the above result.

 Three females, Boquete, 4000 feet, January and March. 



Saltator atriceps lacertosus Bangs.
